Details of Disappearance

Nevaeh was last seen at a doctor's appointment at Metro Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio on November 13, 2012. She has never been heard from again. She was not reported missing until nearly six years later.

At the time of her disappearance, Nevaeh mostly lived with her mother, but she had spent a short time in the foster care system. Her mother told a social worker she might have been given to a family member out of state, but this information hasn't been verified. Authorities stated they had located her biological father and he was cooperating with the investigation, but they haven't been able to speak to her mother.

Nevaeh has nine half-siblings whom she has never met. The circumstances of her disappearance are unclear.
